Rumor does not always err; it sometimes even elects a man.
Serious misfortunes, originating in misrepresentation, frequently flow and spread before they can be dissipated by truth.
Trying to squash a rumor is like trying to unring a bell.
Buy the rumor and sell the fact.
Nobody believes a rumor here in Washington until it's officially denied.
Edward Cheyfitz
Rumor grows as it goes.
